A MIDNIGHT LONGING

I need to be touched

in ways I’ve not been touched before.

I need to feel things

that are strange, beautiful and new. 

I need for the wind

of a wildly passionate love

to gust hard and strong

into my desperately waiting sails.

What I desire

is to be set on fire,

what I long for

is you...

whoever you are,

wherever you may be,

hiding in some secret place

my lust has failed to discover,

my eyes are unable to see,

and my burning loins

can only dream of.

Are you there?

Can you see me?

Crawl into my arms

in the cold dead of night,

so that together in madness

we may chase the hungry ghosts

of my unsought celibacy into oblivion.

The surest cure for midnight longings is sex.
